    Oh that bming Hunter got what he deserved. Especially that last 'well played' when he must have mis-counted his UtH and Arcane Golem damage and was short of lethal.

    The very next turn I gained 14 armour thanks to my Armorsmith.

    Utterly annihilated him on my next turn. Yet I remained completely dignified and silent.

    Yeah. Definitely meant to be aggro Paladin though. That said, at rank 16 (where I was at the time) on EU, pretty much everyone and their mother is running an Aggro deck, so I can sort of see what they were maybe getting at—even if it is the wrong card to include.

    So after spending 25 minutes yesterday playing an asshole of a warlock who roped every single turn and waited until it was at its end before hitting the end turn button I've come up with this idea to submit to blizzard.

    If during your game, your turn lasts long enough to cause the rope to appear more then 3 times, a point will accrue in your character profile.

    When your character hits 10 points, the following changes will occur :+1:
    No matter what class you pick, your portrait will be of a raggity scarecrow known as "Ropeman". The Hero power of Ropeman is 2 mana to do 2 damage to yourself.

    The opponent of said scarecrow can choose to conceed the match without losing rank, and his emote will change to "I do not have time to be tied up with you".

    Every hour after a point will be removed from your profile until you have reached 7 points. At this point, gameplay will return to normal.

    Aggro paladin is back for no reason that I can tell, because it's a fine deck but it's not that strong by any means. Face hunter is probably better for pure aggro.

    People know the face Hunter tricks. Aggro paladin has a little bit of surprise factor and can actually punish other aggro decks that ignore its minions.

    I like to have a deck built for every class, and aggro paladin is the one reasonably competitive netdeck I can make for paladin right now.

    Dammit. Hey Shamans, I'll trade you Flash Heal for Healing Wave. Any takers?

    To be honest I think Flash Heal is better for Priests. Sure, doing 14 damage sounds nice, but as a 7 mana combo that's not even guaranteed to get the high payout you're looking for, I'd rather just have the smaller and more versatile nuke.

    It's also a really good card even if you lose the Joust.

    Unlike say, Tuskarr Jouster. If you lose the Joust on that one, it's just a 5/5 for 5 which is kinda eh. At the very least they could've had a small baseline heal (2-3).

    bleh when I heard the name I thought it'd heal minions too (didn't know the cost or the numbers yet)

    still, I'd call it a good card. extra mana is super valuable compared to the healing mech, although you lose the body, but a big heal is a huge thing for the class. makes using weapons in midrange shaman a little more comfortable.

    there have been many midrange shaman games where I stabilize the board in my favor but am too low to win, just get beat down.

    I like Healing Wave. It's basically Healing Touch with a huge upside. It's not going to go in every shaman deck but it's the kind of card that opens the door for more deck types.

    Great, Healing Wave will fit nicely in my shamanigan deck. Although it really funny to drop a vitality totem vs face hunter and see them continue to go to face. Then you duplicate said totem and watch them concede.

    Does it replace the totem or my healbot. I'm already going to replace my powermace (so less mech synergy) with the new weapon that replaces your power since in late game I tend to need to kill my own totems make room for all the goodies I duplicate, spawn and steal.

    I think one might become standard on ladder, with all the spells Shaman runs it has a pretty good chance of saving you from face Hunter, which Shaman typically gets rekt by.

    what minions was he dropping on curve and what deck were you playing?

    if you were hunter or other aggro and he dropped like, chow, sunfury, some 3 drop, then I understand, especially if he had no molten giant or hellfire in hand.

    I was using Grim Patron Warrior.

    Turn 1 I passed.

    Their turn 1 they played Zombie Chow.

    Then I equipped my Fiery War Axe

    Turn 2 they dropped Ancient Watcher, hit my face with Chow

    Then I killed the Zombie Chow, can't remember what I did mana wise.

    Turn 3 they dropped Ironbeak and Silenced the Watcher

    At that point I played Acolyte of Pain and used Whirlwind.

    He dropped a twilight drake turn 4, only getting it up to a 4/4.

    I then sent the acolyte into the drake and used the fiery war axe to finish it off, and used one of my executes on the watcher.

    Turn 5 he tapped and passed.

    I dropped Thaurissan.

    Turn 6 they used Siphon Soul on my Thaurrisan

    I dropped Acolyte and Death's Bite and prepped it by using it on his face.

    Turn 7 they dropped Mountain Giant.

    I dropped Warsong, Frothing, Patron. Inner Raged one patron, Inner raged it's spawn. Hit his face with Death's Bite.

    He conceded.

    Edit: I remember first turn now, filled in blanks.

    Turn 7 they dropped Mountain Giant.

    I dropped Warsong, Frothing, Patron. Inner Raged one patron, Inner raged it's spawn. Hit his face with Death's Bite.

    He conceded.

    Edit: I remember first turn now, filled in blanks.

    Thass is a big threat and if he had no other removal, then siphon seems reasonable. And it obviously sounds like he didn't have any hellfires or taunt enablers so he may have been attempting to have a better midrange minion presence as that can win against patron if patron doesn't draw and play a combo in time. Which obviously didn't work since you had 6 combo related cards ready to go turn 7.

    Basically he didn't draw the cards to be the control in the match so he had to try to be the beatdown instead which is a reasonable decision to make even if the cards he had still didn't really enable it well.

    Most aren't paying money on a consistent basis though. I think most of us here that do spend money tend to do it every few months when a new adventure comes out and a new set comes out with some also spending a bit every few months too. I imagine it's the same elsewhere.
